The Papillon Fireworks Ride

The Papillon Fireworks Ride

Another Papillon Cycles tradition continues- the Papillon Fireworks Ride! Wednesday July 4, meeting at the shop at 7:30pm, and rolling at 7:45-ish, the route takes us down to Shirlington at Four Mile Run, then the Four Mile Run Trail to Crystal City. Our destination is Long Bridge park, at the north end of Crystal City. While there sadly will not be a July 4 Celebration @ Long Bridge Park this year, it remains a great viewing area with amenties (restrooms), and there are still all the food options that Crystal City provides. Apres fireworks, we ride back to the shop vis Four Mile Run.

The intent is to provide a nice mellow ride out and back with minimal car and pedestrian traffic. Easy comfy-for-all pace. Important- this is a NIGHT RIDE. Lights, front and rear, are a necessity (with good lights, night riding can be fun). We can assist outfitting you if needed. And of course a helmet, always recommended.
